Figure of the day: taxi rides in Moscow have risen in price by 15%

This is the conclusion reached by the researchers of «Check Index» and Tinkoff Data.

According to Kommersant, the reason for the rise in price was failures in GPS operation, as well as a shortage of drivers and an increase in the cost of cars.

The shortage of drivers is especially strong in the summer. The decline in supply leads to an increase in the price of the trip.

Earlier it was reported that after the introduction of the new taxi law, which assumes additional requirements for fleets, the number of taxi drivers may still decrease, which will lead to a further rise in the cost of trips by this type of transport.
